Morphology

unaccommodated = accommodated (transparent) = un + accommodate + ed

The sense 'not provided with shelter/comfort' is the direct negation of 'accommodated' (provided with lodging), so the derivation is straightforward.

Etymology

Unaccommodated comes from un- 'not' and accommodate 'to give shelter or comfort', the same root in accommodation 'a place to stay'. So, if people or things are unaccommodated, they are left without shelter or simple comforts.
